Oh my god I love george carlin!!! = ) he is my all time favorite comedian / satirist (sp?) In my opinion he should be president. I loved his thing with oxymorons too. Expecially "near miss" when 2 planes almost collide they call it a near miss. he says " hell I call it a near hit! Oh look , they nearly missed ::crash::!! " hes great. I could quote him for hours.

Another one I like that someone in my French class came up with in one of our less academically productive moments was Sisters of Mercy. Considering we go to a Catholic school run by the Sisters of Mercy it was doubly funny.
